The former England international will complete a specific training programme this week in order to get him back to full fitness as the Reds ramp up their pre-season schedule.

Jurgen Klopp's side face Hertha Berlin in a friendly on Saturday, before they compete in the Audi Cup in Munich next week. Their pre-season schedule then comes to an end against Athletic Bilbao in Dublin on August 5.

And Liverpool have refused to rule Milner out for any of these upcoming friendlies but claim decisions on his participation depend on his recovery and will be taken on a game-by-game basis.

Klopp will be hoping to have the majority of his squad to choose from for their first Premier League match against Watford at Vicarage Road on August 12.
